The reason why he was so anxious to see Xue Daoheng was because Yang Ming hoped to settle Li Shimin as soon as possible.
Li Yuan has already gone to Jinyang, and Pei Ji has also gone. As for Liu Wenjing, the remaining member of the rebel quartet, Yang Ming checked the archives of the Ministry of Personnel and found that this kid is currently in Jinyang, working as a deputy official for Tongshou Yu Zhongwen.
Yu Zhongwen's guarding was arranged by Yang Ming, but this does not mean that Yu Zhongwen is Yang Ming's person. In fact, he is Yang Guang's person.
At that time, Yu Zhongwen was the governor of Xiongzhou and followed the Jin Dynasty King Yang Guangbei to attack the Turks. When he came back, he found that his position as governor had been taken by Yang Jian's son-in-law Yuwen Jingli.
And Yuwen Jingli is the husband of Yang Ming’s third aunt, Princess Yang Wenjin of Guangping.
The initial dispute between Yang Guang and Yang Su over Shi Wansui was actually to steal credit from Yu Zhongwen. After Shi Wansui bowed his head under Yang Ming's persuasion, Yu Zhongwen was first granted the title of Sima of the Zuowei Prefecture and was given back to Yang Guang. He served as the prince's right guard. Later, after the military government was restructured, he became the general of the right guard and was granted the title of Guanglu doctor. His title was Yanshou Duke.
This person is absolutely loyal to Yang Guang, so Yang Ming can safely arrange for him to go to Jinyang.
The prefect is older than Tongshou, but Yu Zhongwen may not take Li Yuan seriously.
As the core figure of the rebel quartet, Li Shimin could never go to Jinyang again, so Yang Ming sent someone to say hello to Shimin. Xue Daoheng agreed and told him to go to Xue Daoheng's house to study after he came back from Longxi. .
If he dared to run to Jinyang, Yang Ming would have to take action in advance.
There is no way, this kid is too awesome. With thousands of years of history in China, this kid is one of the best in the world.
In fact, in the Sui Dynasty, it was really not easy for ordinary people to travel far away. The furthest they could go to the next door county was for those who had seen the world, but the children of aristocratic families traveled back and forth all over the country.
This is the class difference, so the official road is often jokingly called the road of officials, because most of the time the people walk on country roads.
Zheng Anrao and his family, after Yang Guang left Luoyang, packed up their belongings and brought their family to the capital.
His biological father, Zheng Jibo, lives in the south of the Yangtze River and his hometown is in Luoyang. The whole family is now living in the capital, in three places far away from the south and the north. For ordinary people, they may feel that they will never see each other again in this life, but for the nobles, there is no chance of meeting them again. What a shame.
The eight bitter things in life, love and separation, don't work here.
Isn't this the same situation in Li Yuan's family? I am in Shanxi, the eldest son is in Henan, and the rest are in Shaanxi.
The education of the children of wealthy families is completely different from that of common people. To use a simple metaphor, when you see someone falling into the water, 100% of the people who go to save them are civilians.
After arriving in the capital, Zheng Anrao immediately came to the Prince of Qin's Mansion to find Pei Shuying, hoping to meet Yang Ming. But unfortunately, Yang Ming was not at home, and he was too embarrassed to wait at the Prince's Mansion, so he went Where is my clan brother Zheng Shanguo?
Zheng Shanguo was the minister of Dali Temple. After following Yang Guang from outside the Great Wall, a relative from the clan came to him for help.
In the living room, Zheng Shanguo said: "Things have to be taken slowly. I actually can't speak in the central office. I asked Yang Shangshu, the official department, that you are already on standby in the official department. Just wait. If there is a chance, I will definitely do it. I’m here to help you speak.”
Sitting opposite Zheng Shanguo was Zheng Yuanshou, the former right guard general and He Ruobi's right guard.
He and another general Wei Baoluan were completely ignored by He Ruobi. After Yang Ming dealt with He Ruobi, he relieved them both and arranged for Yang Xuanting and Yang Gongdao to replace them.
Now this kid has been idle at home for a year and a half and has nothing to do, so he came to Zheng Shanguo for help.
It happened that at this time, the housekeeper came to report that Zheng Anrao, the son of Zheng Jibo, was here, and he was a member of his own family. Zheng Shanguo naturally asked the housekeeper to bring him in.
"I know everything about my dear brother," Zheng Shanguo stood up and said with a smile, "Please sit down quickly."
Zheng Shanguo is forty years old this year, but he is the same generation as the 25-year-old Zheng Anrao. On the contrary, he is the 37-year-old Zheng Yuanshou, who is one generation higher than the two of them in the clan.
Zheng Yuanshou, an idler, also laughed and said: "Now it is different from before. You have to be able to be a Jinshi, so Shanguo can easily arrange it for you. As for the promotion of people, at most it is just a small local official, and it is difficult to be a high-ranking official."
Don't look at this kid who is idle right now. People don't look down on local officials.
After Zheng Anrao sat down, he frowned and said, "My mother and younger sister are both in the capital now. I really don't want to leave the capital to take up a post. I'll try my best to stay in the capital."
This is the advantage of a big family, people have a choice.
Zheng Shanguo, the Minister of Dali Temple, said: "I did plan to arrange it for you at first, but the current situation is not easy. There are only a few people in the central government who have the power to participate in the election, but I am the elder brother. I'm not familiar with them, so if I want to arrange for you to stay in Beijing, at least one of these people will have to nod."
"Isn't that right?" Zheng Yuanshou, an idler, complained: "I have no grudges against the King of Qin, just because he exempted me from my position. Now that I'm better, everyone thinks that the King of Qin doesn't like me, and no one dares to use it." I."
Zheng Anrao frowned and asked: "So among the current central committees, which ones have the right to participate in the election?"
Zheng Yuanshou, an idler, said: "The first person in the ranking is the King of Qin. If you are a member of the third rank, you can be exempted if you are told to do so, and you can be promoted if you are asked to do so. The others also depend on their looks."
Zheng Shanguo nodded in agreement and said: "The remaining ones include King Qi, King Guan, Su Wei, Niu Hong, Pei Ju and Yu Wenshu. Whether they can stay in Beijing or not depends on others."
After Zheng Anrao pondered for a moment, he honestly told Dugu Feng'er that he recommended him to King Qin's concubine Pei.
After the idler Zheng Yuanshou heard this, his eyes lit up, he patted his thigh and said:
"Brother Xian, you actually have such a big backing? If you didn't tell me earlier, it would have made my brother worry about you for nothing."
He is a generation older than Zheng Anrao, but he still calls him "Xiandi", not nephew or nephew. After all, they are relatives of the great-grandfather's generation, which is a bit far away.
Zheng Shanguo smiled and said: "Let's not talk about King Qin. If the princess can help say hello to Mr. Pei, your stay in Beijing will be safe. You'd better explain your intentions to others early, and maybe a good position can be reserved for you. "
"If you have a chance, please tell me," Zheng Yuanshou said cheekily.
After being persuaded by the two people for a long time, Zheng Anrao decided to go to Prince Qin's Mansion again.
This time I didn't go in, so I waited outside the door until King Qin came home.
After Pei Shuying found out, she had no choice but to smile, but Feng'er had entrusted her with her instructions and she couldn't ignore them, so she sent someone to invite Zheng Anrao in.
After all, it's already snowing outside.
After Yang Ming left Xue Daoheng's place, he met Gao Xi and Pei Ju successively before returning home.
Pei Shuying relayed Zheng Anrao's meaning to her husband immediately. Yang Ming looked at Zheng Anrao who looked reserved in the hall and said with a smile:
"Promoting people to become scholars is just a stepping stone. The Zheng family in Xingyang is also one of the four surnames in the old Wei Dynasty. You don't need to take up your quota and take the scientific examination. I am also in the midst of employing people, so you might as well come to the palace to serve."
Zheng Anrao was immediately overjoyed and felt flattered. With his qualifications, even if he stayed in the capital, he would still be an eighth- or ninth-grade official. But if he could serve King Qin, even if he was not a high-ranking official, his future would be bright.
So he quickly stood up and thanked him.
Xingyang Zheng, Fan Yanglu, Qinghe Cui, and Taiyuan King were the four largest clans in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Later, in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty, they had a period of glory and then began to decline. However, even so, this family still played a major role in the history of the Tang Dynasty. He gave birth to twelve prime ministers and was one of the ten families with seven surnames that prohibited intermarriage in the Tang Dynasty.
The purpose of prohibiting marriage was to prevent these families from colluding with each other to become powerful through marriage, but the effect was not ideal, and people did not take the imperial power very seriously.
Tang Gaozong Li Zhi's edict prohibiting marriage did not prohibit the entire family, but a certain branch of a certain family. As the saying goes, there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. The bold will not take it seriously at all, and the timid will change it. Change the house branch and still get married.
There are even some families who do not even look down on the emperor's daughter. Yes, I am talking about Qinghe Cui, and the one who is embarrassed is Li Shimin.
Yang Ming really needs to enrich his staff now, including Xue Daoheng's younger son Xue Shou, who is also on his recruitment list, because this boy is one of the eighteen bachelors of the Qin Palace in history, and he is really capable.
After a meeting with his father Yang Guang, Yang Ming basically concluded that his father wanted him to succeed him. Once he became the prince, he would have to build a complete team.
He doesn't have many subordinate officials at the moment, but after becoming the prince, the Eastern Palace officials will need a lot of people.
In addition to the prince, Taifu, and Taibao, who all serve as senior officials in the court, the rest must be trustworthy or useful to themselves.
Xue from Hedong and Zheng from Xingyang are all worthy of friendship.
Right now, Yang Ming should not be obsessed with weakening the powerful family, otherwise he will be the one who dies.
This kind of thing requires the efforts of several generations to achieve. Just because he is a time traveler, he cannot be awesome unless he supports a Huangchao to come out, but the price is too high.
After sending Zheng Anrao away, Yang Ming went to Wei Xianhui's place. Because of Wei Xianhui, Yang Ming finally got involved with the behemoth Jingzhao Weishi.
And until now, he has never favored Wei Xianhui.
"Do you prefer a son or a daughter?"
Wei Xianhui thought for a while with a shy look on her face and said, "Of course I have both a son and a daughter."
Then come again, take advantage of the right time, Yang Ming hasn't had sex in the past month, and he is full of energy today.
Then, Wei Xianhui spent the whole night in happiness and pain.
The next day, her maid left the palace and informed Wei Xianhui's father, Wei Zhen, the minister of Huangmen, about the good news.
Wei Zhen, who had been worried for half a year, showed a fatherly smile after learning that her daughter had broken the melon.
